Interest in asset protection, privacy, and long-term governance planning continues to grow among Americans seeking greater control over how family assets are managed and transferred, as recent data from The Pew Charitable Trust show that between 15 and 20 million civil cases are filed annually across federal and state courts.
The Freedom People's guide focuses specifically on non-statutory trusts, sometimes referred to as common-law trusts or pure trusts as a vehicle for asset protection. Unlike statutory trusts, which operate within legislative frameworks established by state law, non-statutory trusts are formed through private agreements between the parties involved. These arrangements, the resource explains, are built upon contractual relationships and fiduciary duties established between the settlor, trustee, and beneficiaries.
One of the primary themes explored in the guide is privacy, with the publication explaining that non-statutory trusts generally do not involve the same public filing requirements associated with certain statutory structures. As a result, many view them as a way to maintain greater confidentiality regarding asset ownership and governance arrangements.
It also examines the flexibility associated with non-statutory trusts, noting that operating outside certain statutory frameworks reduces ongoing administrative obligations and compliance requirements, while allowing families to establish governance provisions tailored to their specific circumstances and long-term goals.
However, the publication emphasizes that greater flexibility also carries greater responsibility. Successfully establishing and maintaining a non-statutory trust requires a solid understanding of trust principles, fiduciary duties, contract law, and proper trust administration. The guide notes that developing this knowledge often takes considerably longer than the physical process of preparing trust documents.
As part of its educational mission, The Freedom People provides resources covering trust foundations, fiduciary responsibilities, asset governance concepts, and related financial education topics designed to help individuals and families gain a deeper understanding of long-term wealth stewardship strategies.
